Happy Halloween!

My mom and dad visited last weekend. We picked apples at Epelgaarten. Look at who we found in the pumpkin patch:


The Madison Children's Museum had a halloween party on Thursday. We met up with lots of our Happy Bambino friends. Here is our neighbor Sofie with Linden:

We participated in our neighborhood parade Saturday afternoon. Linden dressed as a doggie:

Green Bay visit

We traveled to Green Bay last weekend. We saw both sets of great-grandparents:



We traveled up to Door County:

Linden ate in a high chair used by many Siudzinskis:


Mike and Jeanine came down to Madison for a conference the following week. Jeanine was a huge help preparing the garden for winter.

We enjoyed one more weekend with Jeff, Simone, and Elena. Jeff ran in the Chicago marathon, and he completed it in4:08. We're very proud of Jeff's training and accomplishment!

Susie helped us cheer Jeff on during the race:

Simone and Elena celebrate with Jeff at the end of the race:

Here's a short video of our strong little Linden:

Coca's new buddy

Coca used to be the center of this blog, but now she's become second banana. Here are two good pictures of her hanging out with her new buddy, Linden.

Jeff, Simone, and Elana's visit (part 2)

Spending the week all together felt like summer camp for mommies. We had a lot of help from the grandparents, and someone was around 24/7 to answer questions. Best of all, my mom treated us to a pedicure.

Elena is a very sweet little girl. Linden and I miss her already!
Grandma Ellie was in heaven with her two grandchildren!

Grandad felt pretty happy, too!
George and Judy, our close friends from New York, joined us for the weekend.

Simone's friend, Ingrid, also joined us for the weekend.

Feeding Linden is often a two person job...
